Thank you for the fantastic layouts,

On MPU3/4 I use BC337's for everything NPN and BC327 for PNP as it saves stocking hundreds of transistors. Darlingtons ie reel drivers, sound and sensor lamp switch - BCX38's. You'd be amazed what turns up in the sound department sometimes.I swap out all the transistors in the reset circuit except for the little thyristor (depends on board mod) and of course the other two by the battery assuming they haven't been replaced already. For payslide chatter make sure there's no tobacco film on the PCB in the triac area. Slightest bit of moisture and it tracks all over the place. So when you lift all the old transistors give the board a good scrub with IPA and an old toothbrush. Sometimes it's not enough for real stubborn grime and I have some special aircraft cleaner which I use with cotton buds. Reel twitch can be dry joints on the red connector, the 4 BCX38's on that reel or the 74LS04. Those liquorice allsort caps, as they get old the ends fall off and moisture can get into them. If they look good then not a problem but if the ends look like they are cracked or they come off with your fingernail I'd swap them out. Sometimes the leads will come off on removal so you'll know they were on their way out!

Next up is a Dx (sort off) of the classic i did of this in 2019 the layout's Art is made up of various elements firstly the flyer is a poor one so ive used only a few bits from it mainly the Logo parts you'll see these are far rougher than the rest of the Art the outer cab was from @Ploggy's Lynx layout as this was the correct one used, although the buttons are still from Lynx and not white the reel windows, the closest i could find was from jokers wild Seven segs from Add-A-note Everything else has been re-written and added including the background glass colours and nudge circles etc So not perfect but i think its as near as i could get it Atm (see flyer within the layout for what the machine should look like) Notes from the classic -- (Next up is a machine i've wanted to do for an age, its a machine i remember playing back in '92' down @ Burnham on sea holiday park i worked at for a short time it was on 10p play with a £4.80 repeater which repeated 9 more times for £48 in tokens happy days i thought till i lost it all in cash wise/chain reaction lol It's Twice as Nice a previously un-runnable machine but thanks to Wizards advancements in Mfme we can now experience this classic machine from the nineties It looks similar to Blue Chip but this has loads going on, unlimited nudges , hold one reel, hold all three, hold two for reel match the list goes on, then there's the 7's repeat for the £4.80 repeat chance. A BIG Thanks goto to Wizard for setting up this layout from getting the thing to run to putting it on its 20p setting and maybe more...) Enjoy and Happy Gaming!!!!

Great to see you got this working Ronnie. You'd better do a nice long video for @sulzerned or you'll be in trouble!

T43-46

I’ll send you some. Send me a pic so I know the chip number to check. Could have been MPU4, maybe they are the same.
